Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times, and our technology
breakthroughs have been featured in The Telegraph, BBC and the New Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned
researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our
chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. We’re
backed by a team of top-tier investors, and we have recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million.
We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software
engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative
and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment
focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.
Our team of 100+ is based in Oxford and London, with a centre of mass in our Islington lab.
As the Head of Systems Delivery, you will report into the Executive Director and own the day-to-day technical execution of system
delivery, turning strategic direction into reliable, consistent system deployments by bridging quantum engineering with system
engineering.
You will lead cross-functional teams to build, install, bring-up, stabilise, and gain acceptance of full-stack, silicon spin
qubit-based quantum systems, both in our labs as well as at international client sites.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role focused on first-of-a-kind system build-out, delivery under uncertainty, and
converting deployments into consistent, stable, and scalable delivery models. You will not be responsible for developing the core
quantum technology, but you will be accountable for delivering it successfully, even when it is new and evolving.
If your background is in quantum engineering or experimental physics and you’ve been deeply involved in bringing systems out of
the lab and into reliable operation, we encourage you to apply.

WHO WE ARE Yubo is the Social Discovery app to make new friends and hang out online. By eliminating likes and follows, we empower our users to create genuine connections and show up as their true selves. We've pioneered a new way for Gen Z to socialize online, and with millions of active users, our goal is to redefine how we connect today and tomorrow. Our team is international, multicultural and deeply committed to its mission. As the leading platform to socialize online, we have a special responsibility to build a safe digital space for our community. Safety is embedded in our DNA, and our proactive approach focuses on user protection, support, and education. We also work closely with the broader technology industry to share our knowledge and NGOs create industry-leading child protection standards. Join us in this exciting journey and help us shape the future of social interactions! ABOUT THIS ROLE As Yubo continues to scale, Machine Learning is becoming a core production layer, powering critical systems across safety, recommendations, and product optimization. What makes this role unique is both the scale and diversity of our data, and the level of maturity we are aiming to reach. We process massive volumes of images, text, and real-time user interactions, across millions of users worldwide, creating a wide range of high-impact ML challenges, including: * Content moderation (image, text, behavior) * Recommendation systems and user engagement optimization * Behavioral detection and trust & safety models * Emerging use cases such as dynamic pricing and growth optimization At the same time, our current ML stack is still evolving. Legacy models are not fully integrated into pipelines, lifecycle management remains inconsistent, and our approach can sometimes resemble "develop, deploy, and forget." As ML usage expands across the company, this creates increasing complexity and dependency on reliable, well-structured systems. There is still a huge amount of untapped potential, with many ML use cases yet to be designed, tested, and scaled. Unlocking it requires continuously improving the reliability, scalability, and maturity of our ML systems and workflows. We are therefore looking for a Senior ML Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team, reporting directly to Mikael (Head of Platform Engineering). You will play a key role in delivering ML initiatives across the company, helping turn promising ideas into reliable production systems. You'll work on everything from model development and experimentation to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement, while contributing to the evolution of our ML platform and engineering practices. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES ML SYSTEMS & DELIVERY * Deliver end-to-end ML use cases (recommendation systems, safety algorithms, moderation models, etc.). * Design, train, evaluate, and deploy ML models where appropriate. * Balance speed of delivery with robustness and reliability. ML LIFECYCLE & RELIABILITY * Drive improvements across the ML lifecycle (training, deployment, monitoring, iteration). * Establish KPIs and monitoring standards to track model performance over time. * Ensure continuous alignment with product and safety objectives. * Help improve the reliability and observability of production ML systems. PLATFORM & STANDARDIZATION * Contribute to the evolution of our ML platform through tools, workflows, and reusable components. * Help establish and promote scalable ML engineering practices across teams. * Contribute to improving self-service ML capabilities where relevant. LEGACY & ADVANCED USE CASES * Take ownership of legacy models and realign them with current business needs. * Improve, retrain, and integrate them into modern pipelines. * Contribute to best practices around LLM usage in moderation, recommendation, and other product domains. * Explore and implement advanced ML approaches where relevant. CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION * Partner with Data Engineering, MLOps, Backend Platform, and Product teams. * Act as a bridge between ML, platform, and business stakeholders. * Provide technical leadership on ML initiatives and help improve engineering practices across teams. * Share knowledge and help raise the overall ML maturity of the organization. OUR TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT / ML SCOPE * ML frameworks: PyTorch * Languages: Python (data stack) * Core topics: Neural networks, LLMs, data sampling * Use cases: Recommendation systems, safety algorithms, moderation * Ecosystem: Data Engineering, MLOps pipelines, Backend Platform WHO YOU ARE * You have 5+ years of experience in ML / Data, including work on large-scale datasets (datasets of hundreds of gigabytes). * You have strong expertise in modern ML frameworks (TensorFlow or PyTorch or JAX). * You are highly proficient in Python (data ecosystem). * You have strong knowledge of neural networks and practical experience with LLM-based systems. * You understand ML systems end-to-end (data → training → deployment → monitoring). * You have strong experience in production ML systems, not only research. * You demonstrate strong product sense and can align models with business needs. * You are pragmatic and impact-driven, balancing experimentation with delivery. * You are able to explain complex ML topics clearly (strong pedagogy). * You operate well under ambiguity and can structure complex problems. * You are able to drive technical decisions and influence stakeholders through expertise and collaboration. IN YOUR FIRST 6 MONTHS, YOU WILL * Deliver an end-to-end ML use case to validate impact and execution. * Audit and improve lifecycle management of existing ML models. * Refactor and retrain at least one legacy safety model. * Build reusable ML components that improve development efficiency across teams. * Improve monitoring and observability of production ML systems. * Contribute to the evolution of our ML platform and engineering practices. * Help move critical ML systems toward more reliable and measurable long-term operation. THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS * Phone screen with a Talent Acquisition Manager * Interview with Mikael (Platform Engineering Director) * Technical case study * Cultural fit assessments WHAT WE OFFER * A highly competitive salary range as well as equity in the company * A highly flexible remote work policy, 2 days at the office per month, with monthly team events. * We also cover fees for external professional events and meetups (Android Makers, etc…) * Great health insurance coverage for both you and your family by Alan, fully paid for by Yubo ! * Numerous benefits for parents: additional parental leave, easy access to nurseries and daycare facilities in France.
